If get_or_create() is deprecated, what is proposed "best practice" alternative for this pattern?

(Semi-newbie alert...)

Why is it deprecated?   (I see the deprecation notice in the documentation but no supporting material or alternatives are provided in the docs.)

What is the proposed "best practice" alternative for this common pattern?

There is a race condition as Rozza notes here ~ https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups#!topic/mongoengine-users/C-i7tKkjPg8

I would opt for an upsert - where you query against the values and then do set at the same time.
